SG-1 are traipsing through a forest searching for a UAV that crashed. They hear weapons fire and going to investigate they find an SG team pinned down by Jaffa. Failing to make communications with the SG team they advance to help them but are ambushed by hidden SG troops that have some kind of stun weapon.
SG-1 are taken out.
Waking up in an infirmary they are told by a young soldier that they should be dead, he gets nasty when SG-1 start to ask questions. SG-1 are taken to the Captain who starts going on about some kind of 'rules of engagement', Teal'c realises what is going on, these young men are Jaffa in training for an undercover mission to invade Earth. Teal'c takes the role of a Jaffa leader and gets them taken to the weapons locker to recover their guns, but they find they are missing.
SG-1 find their weapons gone.
Teal'c goes to see Rodgers the human Captain. He tells him to get the 'vocume', this transmits a massive image of Apophis in the air telling the warriors to listen to the man infront of them, it allows Teal'c and SG-1 to gain a control of the situation. Jack addresses the warriors and tells them the war games are over and they can all go home. The warriors are very suspicious of this and Teal'c tells them Apophis is dead, they don't believe him as Apophis is a God to them.
The games recommence and SG-1 take the stun weapons, Entarcs, and go to recover the real weapons which some of the warriors are accidentally using. Rodgers tries to draw the fire of the Jaffa who has the real staff weapon but he gets hit. Rodgers has shedding blood and this means the games will go into the final stage, they will all use real weapons. SG-1 then take Rodgers back to Earth under the guise of taking him to personally be healed by Apophis.
Rodgers gets injured.
Arriving on Earth Rodgers realises he has been tricked and says Apophis will strike them all down. Frasier takes him away to be fixed up while the others hold a briefing to discuss the situation, Hammond will not allow them to return to the planet without knowing more about the situation, Jack goes to see Rodgers. To convince Rodgers Apophis is dead they show him a video of Apophis dieing at the SGC (see Serpent's Song). Rodgers finally believes Apophis is dead but he wants their help to go and stop his men dieing for him. Holding another briefing Rodgers tells them that there are real weapons on the planet and his second, Nelson, knows where they are, they will use them in the final challenge. Sam says they can upload the video of Apophis's death into the vocume and transmit this they will hopefully convince the others he is dead.
Rodgers asks for their help.
Arriving back on the planet SG-1 are able to take the base where the vocume is. Daniel, Jack and Rodgers defend the base as Carter uploads the video to the vocume.
Sam uploads the video to the vocume.
Successful Carter activates the device and the warriors gather to see Apophis die, Rodgers tells Nelson they can all go home.
The vocume broadcasts the video.
